Describe the sequence of events during a blood clot.

Answer: Hemostasis includes three steps that occur in a rapid sequence:

Explanation: 1) vascular spasm, or vasoconstriction, a brief and intense contraction of blood vessels; (2) formation of a platelet plug; and (3) blood clotting or coagulation, which reinforces the platelet plug with fibrin mesh that acts as a glue to hold the clot.

or:

The Blood Clotting Process

Injury. A small tear in a blood vessel wall (for example, from a cut on the skin or an internal injury) causes bleeding.

Vessel constriction. To control blood loss the blood vessel narrows (called constriction), thus limiting blood flow through the vessel.
